Heimat makes it number five for Kovsie residences

2014-04-09

Steinhoff Heimat has claimed yet another Steinhoff Koshuis Rugby Championship for the UFS when they beat NWU’s Patria residence 20-12 on Monday night.

Heimat is now the third Kovsie residence to win this Varsity Cup league and overall this is the fifth Koshuis Rugby title the UFS has won since the FNB Varsity Cup started in 2008. Vishuis has previously won this competition three times and Armentum has won it once.

Heimat took the lead on the scoreboard early on Monday night and managed to score four tries to secure their victory. However hard the men from Patria battled for a comeback, they could only take a 12-10 lead for a short while during the second half.

With fifteen minutes left on the clock, the UFS residence scored their final two tries and did not allow the home side to score again.

Heimat try scorers: Vossie van Straaten 2, Willie de Jager, Johan Kotze
